Re-reading this interview, I see that I came off as pretty harsh-sounding toward the Prince of Persia designers.

That wasn't my intention. Yes, I think they dropped the ball when it came to exploiting rewindability, but I think it is pretty cool that they put it in there in the first place; without Prince of Persia: Sands of Time as an example to start from, Braid might never have been made, or might have turned out very different.

So, thank you PoP: SoT design team, and sorry this interview came out sounding all negative about your choices.
